Force limiter of the power windowsThe electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows. If there is an obstacle, the closing proce
ss is stopped and the window goes down by
several centimeters. If the obstacle prevents the window from
being closed during the next 10 seconds,
the closing process is interrupted once ag
ain and the window go
e s d o w n b y s e v e ra l
centimeters. You must try to close the window once
again within 10 seconds after the window
has gone down twice, even if the obstacle
was not yet removed, the closing process
is stopped. During this time it is not possible to automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched on. The force limiter is only switched off, if you attempt to close the window within the next 10 seconds -
the window closes now with full strength!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, th
e force limiter is switched on again.

. The symbols which mark the switch positions are
identical, however.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
•
An audible warning will sound if you withdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.•
The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the
driver's door is closed (ignition off). The
vehicle can be parked with the side lights
on.•
If the car is parked for a lengthy period
, we recommend switching off all lights,
or leaving only the parking lights switched on.•
The switching on of the described lights
should only be undertaken in accord-
ance with the legal requirements.•
If a fault occurs in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically
•
In the event of cool or humid weather co
nditions, the headligh

− The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head- light lenses is decisive. − When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period. The headli
ght lenses can possib
ly mist up at the
border areas.

passenger side the lighting in the storage compartment comes on.
– The light switches on automatically
when the parking light is switched
on and goes out when the flap is closed.
The interior light comes on as soon as yo
u unlock the car or open a door or when

We recommend having these bulbs re
placed by a specialist garage.

Lowerable exterior mirror* with the aid of the key for remote control – If all the windows are closed, press the unlock button on the radio
remote control

page 51, fig. 48
for approx. 2 seconds.
Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror* When the rotary knob is in position
 ⇒page 76, fig. 76
and the reverse gear is
engaged, the surface of the mirror tilts down slightly. This provides an aid in seeing the kerb of the pavement when parking the car. The mirror returns into its initial position,
after the rotary knob is moved out of the
position
 and put into another position or if the speed is more than 15 km/h.
Memory for exterior mirrors* On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the relevant setting of the exte- rior mirror is also stored automatica
lly when the seat position is stored.
WARNING
•
Convex (curved outward) or spherical (differently curved) exterior
mirrors increase the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mirrors are only of limited use, therefore, for estimating distances to the following vehicles.•
Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating the
distances to the following vehicles.
Note
•
Do not touch the surfaces of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on.•
You can set the exterior mirrors by hand, if
the power setting function fails at any
time by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.•
Contact your specialist garage if a fault exists with the power setting of the exte-
rior mirrors.
Automatic dimming exterior mirror*The exterior mirrors are dimmed together with the interior mirror. If the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims
automatically
depending on the light
striking the mirror from the rear. When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the mirror always moves back into the
basic position (not dimmed).
Note
•
Automatic mirror dimming operates only pr
operly if the sun screen* for the rear
window is not in use or the light striking th
e rear of the interior rear-view mirror is
not affected by other objects.•
Do not affix any stickers in front of the li
ght sensor, so that you do not impair the
automatic dimming function or put it out of operation.•
If you switch off the automatic dimming interior rear-view mirror, also the exte-
rior mirror dimming
is switched off.
